Supplement study to help low milk supply during breastfeeding
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supplement (either an active “galactagogue” or a placebo) can increase milk supply in people who feel they have low breast milk. You would have several check-ins and milk/milk-expression measurements to see if your milk volume changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether showing mothers photos, videos, and live images of their baby during milk pumping can improve the milk-feeding process for babies in the NICU. If you can’t breastfeed and you use a smart phone, this could be helpful and give a more personal connection to your baby while you pump.
This study tests a better way to help parents pump breast milk more efficiently. It also looks at how the body makes milk. It may help you breastfeed longer and with less hassle.
This study tests if talking with a counselor (motivational interviewing) can help new mothers who feel they don't have enough breast milk. You may join if this is your first baby, you deliver vaginally, and you're only breastfeeding but worried about your milk supply.
This study tests whether a type of diabetes/weight loss medication (GLP-1 RA, given as a shot) affects milk production in breastfeeding mothers. It may help women who need this medicine while nursing.
This trial explores if expressing (pumping) breast milk before giving birth can help women with gestational diabetes breastfeed more successfully. It may help you build a milk supply and feel more confident about breastfeeding.
This study tests whether an oral supplement called nicotinamide riboside can increase milk output in mothers of extremely premature babies. If it works, it may help you provide enough breast milk for your baby’s early NICU needs.
